Black people slang around the word "Cracka", "Honky", "Faggot" "Koon",but soon as they hear nigga, the world stand still. Why? If that word trigger a breaking point, shit put it on T-shirt, I mean the same mouth that breathe that word, also breathe "Jesus", put him in your heart and told you to wait until you physically die for a reward. Your war is on the inside, not the outside, whoever said words don't hurt lied didn't they?
#SticksAndStones
✨🔼✨🔺✨🔼✨

Words are one of our greatest powers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever hear “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me…”?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well I think by now, most of us know that’s bullshit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When growing up words from a peer, a parent, or even a teacher can change our entire belief system.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If a teacher told you you’re bad at math, most likely you carried that story with you throughout school, whether you were actually bad at math or not, because you let their words become your belief. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you played an instrument in the orchestra, and a peer told you that orchestra is for geeks…You might have even given up playing in the orchestra, because you feared being labeled as a geek.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All throughout life we let OTHER peoples words, write OUR stories and OUR beliefs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And words don’t always come from other others. Words can be just as powerful when used by YOU.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might tell yourself you’re too ugly, you’re too stupid, you’re too short, you’re too broken or that you can’t do something.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this case you’re writing your own false story inside your head.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, when you start telling yourself that you’re amazing, that you’re confident, and that you can do anything, words can become your greatest power. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start writing a new story for yourself today, by using different words to describe yourself and truly believing in them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stop letting society or other peoples words write your story for you. It’s time to write your own story with your own words. Build yourself up and build up others around you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At first, people won’t know what to think. They might even try and use their words to hurt you, however, the words in your head will always be stronger.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember...you’re AWESOME, whether you know it right now or not, so don’t forget to tell yourself daily.

My babies with their babies. ❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When they were teeny I gave them a pet name without even thinking. One son is Tink. One son is Baba. I still call them this now although they're now 29 & 27. A few days ago, after much discussion about what I call my boys because it was frowned upon, a 'friend' in a very nasty tone said, , that its OBVIOUS I don't like their names. I told said friend that one was named after my deceased brother who was named after my very much loved and missed grandfather and one was named by his grandfather as it was his dying wish. Both names I love dearly but I also love my affectionate names for them. I felt/feel extremely offended by this comment. I could have replied with some nasty things but I'm not that person and now my anger is bubbling. #dontjudge#dontstooptotheirlevel#riseaboveit#sticksandstones#nastyisasnastydoes#ilovemyboys#proudmama ❤️❤️
